In a study I completed in the summer of 2006, 187 business executives provided insights into the role of mobile phones in their jobs. Here is the distribution of three classifications of their functions:
- Customer facing such as sales and marketing
- Executive, administration, information technology, finance and management
- Product, services and manufacturing
In combination, 75% of respondents have their mobile bills reimbursed by their employers. Interestingly, it depends on your role in the business, as shown below.
Is your mobile phone bill paid by your employer or paid personally?
